MARY !

You see, I loved HIM dearly, I worshiped HIM from afar. In a man, what every woman seeks is sincerely; this is Jesus. Jesus was my distant star !

I had cooked for HIM , and served HIM, I had even walked with HIM, well behind. I had washed His garments, though He had never known it

I have watched His Ministry, so loving and kind.

It broke my heart when I heard about HIS trial. And to see HIM on the cross…

I had hurried to the grave on Sunday morning;

Austin Huntley was a young boy living in Nova Scotia, His main enjoyment was playing with a group of youngsters around his own age and they got up to all kinds of things as boys will.

I wandered lowly as a cloud that floats on high over hill and dale, and all at once I saw a crowd, a host of people worshipping God. Please forgive my miss- quotation, but I am aware that I am communicating with those who would call themselves “fellow Christians”.
